2016 Annual Appeal

Man’s wealth is only temporary, the sanctuary is lasting, it belongs to the future, to the future of unborn generations of unaccountable ages. – Jens Jensen, renowned Landscape Architect and founding member of The Ridges (March 1941 Appeal Letter)

Each year, gifts to our annual appeal provide 25% – 35% of our overall operating budget. Contributed funds assist with the vital work we do in educational programming for adults and children, invasive species control, and research and preservation of critical wildlife habitat.
